A center offering spiritual nourishment for daily living

Buried below the surface of our very busy culture, there lies a deep, often unrecognized need to tend to the soul - to connect with oneself, to connect with one another, and connect with God, who is larger than any one person, community, or tradition can imagine. Well for the Journey, Inc. (“The Well”) is a grass roots, nonprofit organization that was founded in 2002 by a group of people who felt called to offer an innovative service to meet this essential human need. The Well offers spiritual nourishment for daily living through small groups, classes, and resources.

The Well seeks to provide safe spaces for people to gather to explore matters of life through listening, storytelling, reflection, creativity, meditation, and simple silence. We encourage each person to come to our programs with a sense of humility, acknowledging that no one person or faith tradition has all the answers. In the community of small groups and classes, people can explore the spiritual journey together. Practical issues such as forgiveness, prayer, the busyness of everyday life, listening, compassion, suffering, and kindness are all recurring themes in our programming. In all that it does, the Well seeks to nourish and renew individuals from the inside out, enabling them to better care for the world around them.

We invite you to enter through one of The Well’s diverse doorways and explore the spiritual life. The Well offers spiritual exploration without fear, without judgment, without “strings attached” – a chance to try new things, to seek a deeper understanding, to ask questions and get answers to those questions, to get to know oneself and one’s God on a deeper and more practical level.

	The Vision Statement

The Mission Statement
In response to God's grace and spirit, The Well offers spiritual nourishment for daily living. Though grounded in Christianity, the center reaches beyond denominations and traditions to provide opportunities for spiritual growth and formation, equipping individuals to serve God and others.

To carry out the mission, The Well seeks to:

• Encourage community through small group gatherings that respect the experience of every individual.

• Offer accessible, varied programs that support the exploration of the inward and outward spiritual journey.

• Provide educational opportunities that engage the whole person (intellectual, physical, and spiritual) in developing habits for a life rooted in faith.

• Develop and share creative spiritual resources that help nurture a growing relationship with God.

• Promote spiritual healing, renewal, and self-knowledge through retreats and respites from routine living.
